It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. Never have Americans been as comfortable in their homes and as afraid in the world. Never have Americans enjoyed freedom of thought and expression and been so corrupt in the imaginations of their hearts. And never have Americans been so tolerant of moral […]

Redefinition Evangelism
The gospel partakes of what has been called the “scandal of particularity.” This particularity is sometimes embarrassing to Christians who want to be sophisticated and tolerant, but the specificity is essential to the gospel. Christianity is not a vague cosmic optimism, a utopian vision of everyone loving one another, a formula for success and happiness, […]
Things Indifferent
For the church, wherever she appears in human society, the constantly recurring question must be: What shall we unite with and from what shall we separate? The question of coexistence does not enter here, but the question of union and fellowship does. The wheat grows in the same field with the tares, but shall the […]
The Awesome Power of Shared Beliefs
Wagner is Vice President of Ministry Advancement for Promise Keepers. This book is one of many on the market now that promotes the PK movement. I am not a PK participant nor advocate. This book and my growing file on PK remind me that I am closer to writing a longer article expressing my conviction […]
More Than The Common Faith
Some Christians who once championed sound doctrine beat a retreat once in a while and from stratospheric heights announce that they do not stoop to controversy. When a man contends for the faith in New Testament style he does not stoop! Some assert that they have become mellow in later years, but one must remember […]
Protestants and Catholics: Do They Now A...
This is another book about ECT which I found very helpful and informative. It is forwarded by John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul and D. James Kennedy. It is a longer treatment of more than 300 pages including six appendixes. You also get the ECT document reproduced as the last appendix. Ankerberg is well known for his […]
A View of Rome
During this time of the Evangelicals And Catholics Together (ECT) accord, I think it is important to be able to put good information into people’s hands. This is an easy read of fewer than 150 pages but gives precise and usable information on understanding the Catholic church and seeing the issues of salvation. Armstrong gives […]
What About Lewis and Chesterton?
This means open war between men, in which everyone is obliged to take sides, either with the dogmatists or with the skeptics, because anyone who imagines he can stay neutral is a skeptic par excellence. This neutrality is the essence of their clique. Anyone who is not against them is their staunch supporter, and that […]
Evangelicals & Catholics Together Toward
This is a collection of articles written by Colson, Neuhaus, George Weigel, Mark A. Noll, Avery Dulles, and J.I. Packer defending their support of the ECT statement. Also, they attempt to answer the criticisms leveled by R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur and others who have declared that ECT invalidates the reformation theological position of sola fida […]
Reckless Faith
This is another timely book by MacArthur. As usual, it is well written and documented. He is critical of the consumer mentality within Christianity and of the lack of discernment among its leadership. He even uses the term ‘‘fundamentalist’’ in a positive light and compliments its founders as men of discernment. This volume is timely […]
